Great expect the next Squillaci.
We need to consider names like Adil Rami. The frenchman can play with Lolo and speaks spanish to talk with Gabriel.
Koulibaly
Koulibaly has the experience of Rattata.

So? We should look for quality before experience.

Have you watched the career of Kalidou Koulibaly before the last season? Between Gabriel and Koulibaly there aren’t any differences. It’s stupid to spend 50M of € for a normal defender.
As someone who’s been watching Gabriel since he’s debut with Villarreal that’s bullshit mate. The only thing Gabriel and Koulibaly have in common is that they both play centre back.
Well with the Mustafi links, we could be heading in the right direction at least. Arsenal have to either hope one of Chambers or Gabriel can improve this year and form a partnership with Kos which is wishful thinking. If we signed someone like Mustafi, wouldn’t that be a jab at Gabriel more than anyone else too?
In an ideal world we’d throw a lot of money at Jonathan Tah.
I know someone up the thread suggested John Anthony Brooks and as much as I’d love to see a US international play for Arsenal I just don’t know that Brooks would fit with a team that has such a labored build up style.
Unfortunately know everyone knows that we (a) have plenty of money because of the EPL TV deal and (b) really need a CB…and we always do well negotiating under those circumstances. :wenger2:
have you seen Koulibaly since his debut with Napoli? I watched him during every single game 'cause I live in Naples and my family support them. I know who is he, isn’t better than Gabriel.

Someone read this thread.
agent who?!
is reliable?
We were linked with Williams a number of windows back and I always thought he was a huge wasted opportunity. Purists will claim he isn’t technical enough but he’d certainly be more composed than Gabriel.
He also tried to kill RVP by banging a ball of his face from about half a foot away so there’s that.

Heh. That was fun.
Perhaps on reflection of that quote, Ferguson decided it’s time to quit.
I can’t say I have not in his first season anyway but his performance vs Barca in 2014 was pretty decent to fair
You’re off your rocker if you think Gabriel’s better than Koulibaly.
Gab’s English shouldn’t be far behind his Spanish by now, so that’s not much of a help.

I’m sceptical on Ashley Williams.
I’d maybe like to see us try for one of the following:
Mustafi from Valencia.
Rami from Sevilla.
Van Dijk from Southampton.
Manolas from Roma.
I’d be suprised if a potential new CB is not going to be another Squillaci.
